The Academy’s Undercover Professor – 207



◈ Episode 207 Delica Kingdom (3)

“Teacher are you going?”

“It’s impossible not to go when called. “I’m personally interested.”

“I can’t believe I’m going to a place called a treasure trove of knowledge. It’s truly amazing! “It was a place I really wanted to go too.”

“Arte. “I’m sure you can do it.”

Hehe looking at Arte smiling Ludger quickly read the invitation.

The date is tomorrow.

There was nothing to prepare as all I had to do was physically go.

Anyway what they want is this knowledge.

You probably want to know why and how the problem was solved.

‘If I join an academic society I will have the opportunity to read books that are not available in the public eye.’

I was already feeling frustrated because the progress of my recent research was slow but a good opportunity presented itself.

If you stop by there you might be able to find some clue.

Casey crossed his arms at the sight of Ludger.

‘I see. This was how this man became a professor at Ordo University.’

When I asked how on earth Ludger who had been concentrating on personal research in his room became a professor I never would have guessed that there was an inside story like this.

‘Unexpectedly the response was lukewarm. It’s a place that anyone who has devoted themselves to academics would pay hundreds of millions of dollars to get into but they don’t seem very happy when they receive an invitation.’

The dean personally invited us.

‘and.’

Casey narrowed his eyes.

What interested me the most was the research conducted by Ludger.

The research materials containing all kinds of shapes and formulas were so complex that even Casey who was watching closely from the side had a hard time understanding them.

Even if the flow in the dream was faster than real time it was quite a blow to one’s pride.

‘I was confident that I had some knowledge in this field but no matter how much I looked at it I couldn’t figure it out.’

The only clue we can get is that Ludger’s research is an area that no one has touched so far.

And although the main thing is math it can be combined with magic.

‘Come to think of it during James Moriarty’s time he was called the greatest authority on topological mathematics.’

Topological math.

Until then this study was called an extension of geometry and belonged to a lower field but one man completely changed the perception of it.

Mathematics as it is known to the world is a discipline that deals with intuitive objects using the logic of numbers.

However topology did not play with numbers like other disciplines.

Rather than mathematics dealing with abstraction through logic it was closer to something beyond cognition.

‘If the research this man is currently doing is topological mathematics then it’s true that I don’t understand it.’

A difficult subject that cannot be understood.

Topological mathematics was like that for Casey Selmore.

However as a result of peeking into Ludger’s research materials from time to time I came to realize an unexpected fact.

‘These drawings I thought were just shapes for topological space. Now that I look at it again it resembles a magic spell.’

Geometry which deals with space and even more topological mathematics.

A technique that combines topological mathematics.

And even the magic that transcends space as shown by James Moriarty.

‘Set spatial movement phase change coordinates. ‘What kind of magic was this man trying to create?’

They even made something similar already.

James Moriarty’s movements seen during the Kunst auction house incident.

It was clearly a spatial movement that shrunk into a black dot and appeared in another location.

‘Space movement magic. That’s what James Moriarty created.’

I vaguely remembered hearing that among the magic used by a teacher named Ludger Chelisi was a coordinate designation technique.

Did you say that magic is fired at completely different coordinates within a certain range centered on the wizard?

Because it seems difficult to use it did not receive much attention compared to the highly versatile source code.

If you think it’s a prototype of space movement magic the endless possibilities are more than source code.

‘But what do you plan to do by creating magic like this?’

It can be seen that he was trying to achieve great wealth and fame by making it but he did not reveal his abilities very well.

All that was shown was the prototype coordinate designation magic.

If space magic were to be commercialized it would be impossible to estimate the impact it would have on the world.

Just by raising his name as the founder he could become a great wizard who will go down in history.

I didn’t.

This man didn’t do that.

‘Creating space movement magic is not his main purpose.’

To Ludger space magic was just a ‘means’ to achieve something.

The real purpose lay beyond that.

‘What on earth are you planning to do?’

Creating this level of magic is nothing more than a process.

I couldn’t imagine how grand his ambitions would be afterward.

I felt like what started out as simply looking at the past of that day was spiraling out of control somewhere.

Still Casey told himself to just wait and see.

* * *

The next morning.

Ludger finished preparing to go out.

“and. teacher. “It’s awesome!”

“I see.”

Because he was called to a conference Ludger dressed more neatly and classically than usual.

Shiny shoes and black pants without a single wrinkle.

He wore a tie and vest and a black frock coat over it.

Her long flowing hair was slicked back and she wore a hat on top of it.

He even wore a gold monocle on one eye.

‘That look…’

Originally he had a sharp appearance but after changing his clothes and making changes of his own the feeling changed to the point where it was unrecognizable.

And that was the image Casey had seen so many times in the past.

It was Professor James Moriarty.

“I’ll go.”

Ludger went outside while being seen off by Celie and Arte.

At the same time he adjusted the amount of light on the face to completely change the impression.

‘ah. That’s why I didn’t recognize it at first.’

Going beyond a simple disguise to change his mood and complexion the charismatic noble turned into an iron-blooded consultant.

So Ludger got into the carriage that had come to meet him and headed to the academy’s main building.

The destination we arrived at was the main academic building located on the grounds of Ordo University.

The building was very large and magnificent as if it was worthy of its reputation.

Step by step. Step by step.

“Monas Hall” appears when you go up the wide central staircase of the main building.

It was a place where famous scholars gathered to discuss and debate.

Ludger went and stood in the center of the hall.

“Is it him?”

“The person who solved that problem is such a young man?”

There was a blank blackboard in the center.

Ludger lightened his attire by lightly taking off his coat hat and glasses.

The scholars who had arrived and waited inside in advance showed various reactions to Ludger’s relaxed appearance.

“The atmosphere is extraordinary. “Where are you from?”

“If that were the case rumors would have spread.”

“I can’t believe you didn’t even bow your head once. “He’s a stiff guy.”

Surprise exclamation interest irritation.

Most people were surprised or disapproving that Ludger was younger than expected.

Most of the people gathered here are in their mid-30s or older.

“Quiet. “Be quiet.”

The words of the dean who was sitting at the head table of Monas Hall weighed heavily on the inside of the hall.

The dean was satisfied with that and opened his mouth.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Gord Himbel the dean here. “The name is…”

“This is James Moriarty.”

Ludger naturally gave his own pseudonym.

“Moriarty? “It’s the first family name I’ve ever heard of.”

“He must be a new nobleman who bought his status with a reasonable amount of money.”

People who were unfamiliar with Ludger’s name felt that he was an unremarkable person.

It was so quiet that even the dean didn’t bother to stop it.

“Okay. Mr. Moriarty. “Do you know why you came here?”

“yes. “This is to explain the process of how [Nemar’s equation] was solved.”

“Can you teach us here?”

“As much as you want.”

That’s how the full transplant began.

Pure white chalk began to fill in countless formulas on the blackboard prepared in advance.

The scholars who initially disapproved of Ludger began to adjust their posture as the explanation continued.

Inside the huge yet quiet hall.

In that place where no sound of breathing can be heard the only things that resonate are Ludger’s low voice and the sound of chalk hitting the blackboard.

“That’s it.”

After the full presentation was completed and the explanation was over Ludger glanced at the audience and then fixed his gaze on the dean.

Old Gord’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ludger.

“Excellent. It was truly a flawless transplant. “Mr. Moriarty.”

The title of teacher meant that Ludger was recognized by the dean.

“That’s too much praise.”

“It’s surprising that such an outstanding person’s name was not even known until now. “Do you happen to be a recluse?”

“no. doesn’t exist. “I just studied on my own because I came from a humble family.”

“Huh. It’s truly amazing that you can achieve this level of skill through self-taught skills. And for our meeting today it was truly heaven’s help. “Is there anything else you want?”

“If you want more…?”

“Anything is fine. Oh of course there will be prize money. However if there is anything else you want just let me know. “It’s been a long time since I met a great person and I want to give him something because I feel like a senior walking the same path.”

Dean Gord smiled softly taking advantage of his good impression.

Casey who was looking at that shook his head.

‘The intention is clearly visible. ‘You’re saying they’re trying to keep you in debt somehow.’

The dean will be coveted because Ludger has solved a problem that we have not been able to solve yet.

Moreover you taught yourself without learning anywhere?

I didn’t fully believe it but even considering that James Moriarty was a brilliant gem.

“If you say you will give it to me I won’t hesitate. “Then there is one thing I would like to ask you.”

“Tell me.”

“I want to become a professor at Ordo University which is affiliated with this society.”

At those words a murmur was heard from the audience.

“You want to become a professor? Do you think you can just make me a professor at Ordo University?”

“You’re asking me to give you a position that you can only get if you have experience and a reputation. “You’re too greedy.”

“Are you feeling proud just because you solved one problem?”

Most thought Ludger’s requirements were excessive.

In fact Dean Gord stared at Ludger as if trying to confirm the truth of what he said.

Ludger also did not avoid the dean’s gaze.

“That word. “Are you serious?”

“yes.”

“Good.”

As words of acceptance fell from the dean’s lips some scholars protested.

However the dean spoke in a solemn voice.

“stop. I told you to tell me what you want with my mouth and that I would do it for you. “This is a decision made under the authority of the dean.”

“But Dean. You can become a professor just by solving problems? “This is too much.”

“charge? “Then is there anyone here who can solve the Nemar equation more neatly than Mr. James Moriarty?”

At those words the crowd was engulfed in silence.

It couldn’t have happened.

Because Ludger was the only one who solved it in the first place.

“I believe that those who follow the path of learning and scholarship like us will not know that this is a very great achievement.”

So don’t belittle the other person by saying you only solved one problem.

Respect his achievements and treat him accordingly.

The dean was saying this.

“Of course we are not giving you a full professor position right away. “For now I’m thinking of this as a temporary position.”

When I said that other people couldn’t resist.

If it was temporary it was just a position from which you would be kicked out if you did not prove your abilities.

‘From the beginning Dean Gord intended to embrace that man.’

Ludger is young and capable and has no clear affiliation.

Of course as a dean I want to attract such talented people to the academy for the sake of its reputation.

‘Rather the dean must have thought that this man’s suggestion was right. ‘I was thinking of offering a professorship over there.’

However Ludger said that he wanted to become a professor.

As a dean he must have been happy that Ludger scratched his itch well.

‘Without even knowing that it was that man’s plan.’

From the beginning the position of professor was just a facade for Ludger.

The same applies even if it is temporary.

What Ludger wants is the right to read important papers written in the Central Library of Ordo University.

The position of professor was merely a means to that end.

‘Anyway he can change his identity at any time.’

As a dean who doesn’t know the inside story it must have felt like a pumpkin had been rolled into the vine.

That’s how James Moriarty became a temporary professor at Ordo College.

* * *

A week has passed since Ludger became a temporary professor.

News of the new temporary professor also spread among college students.

And that he will soon take the test for full professor appointment.

“I’m a temporary professor appointed by the dean. Wouldn’t that work?”

“no way. But what if there are other executives besides the dean?”

The students headed to Monas Hall talking loudly.

When we arrived the place was crowded with people waiting to take the recruitment test.

“It begins.”

Inside the darkened hall.

Light gathered in the center of the place and the figure of a man appeared.

A man like steel who does not feel any tension even though over a thousand people are watching.

“nice to meet you. “This is interim professor James Moriarty.”

He bowed lightly and held the chalk.

“Without further delay let’s get started right away. “This is geometry I’ve been studying recently.”

As he said that he began writing down some of what he was researching on the blackboard.

It was visible to the people in the surrounding hall through magic.

At first I thought it was the struggle of an incompetent temporary professor.

There were many hyenas here who would bite if they saw even the slightest loophole.

Hyenas also have very sharp teeth.

However as Ludger continued to write down the formula no one could speak up.

It was because there was nothing to point out.

Casey who was watching the situation next to Ludger also became convinced.

‘It was like this.’

Casey once again realized why Ludger whose identity was unclear could become a full professor at Ordo.

He is a person whose identity is unclear and he does not know what he did in the past.

Such a person gained fame and occupied a high position.

The reason was so obvious and simple.

It was enough to just be extremely good.

That he was able to become Professor James Moriarty.

This was possible because the people here at the University of Ordo had the knowledge they craved.

‘Knowledge and ability are power.’

Ludger achieved everything entirely with his own abilities.

‘And that’s not just in one specific field but in all kinds of different fields.’

How on earth did a person like this end up hiding his identity and living such a false life?

Even though I have the ability to receive generous treatment wherever I go.

“That’s it.”

There was silence in the hall.

He just showed some of the knowledge he possesses.

Everyone had no choice but to admit it.

“That’s great.”

Dean Gord nodded with a proud face.

He was so happy that the person he had appointed had performed better than expected.

“Is there anyone who wants to ask a question?”

The audience responded to Dean Gord’s question with silence.

Is there anything? No.

The dean’s somewhat excited voice echoed through the hall.

“Congratulations on that. Please take care of me in the future. “Full Professor James Moriarty.”

This is how the story of a man named James Moriarty was born.
